Understand that 370 days ago even bringing a motion like this would probably have been treated as sanctionably frivolous

Today it was granted ex parte
A federal judge issues a restraining order against the feds, barring them from "destroying or altering evidence"

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.

The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

If fewer Americans had voted for Trump, Renee Good would be alive and caring for her child today.
No matter what lies Trump and his propagandists spread, no matter what nonsense the media prints, no matter what conspiracies MAGA invents, that remains manifestly true.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

This is insane, but a fun side note: former Overstock CEO and Maria Butina honeypot victim Patrick Byrne as been MIA (after his lawyer was arrested) in a defamation suit brought against him by Hunter Biden. A judge found him in default and Biden has filed a $33.3M default judgement request.

There are lots of wrong definitions of habeas one could give, but this is just about the *most* wrong definition possible.

Imagine a cabinet member being asked to define freedom of speech and answering that it’s the government’s right to stop you from criticizing them. About the same.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

What the f@ck is wrong with you! Stand up to this sh1t! This is a 5 alarm fire, people are dying without USAID. It’s a fu$&ing clown show. Do something!!!!
The Democratic Party's calculation appears to be that raising hell about what Trump is doing will make them look obstructionist, partisan, and "sour-grapey" while painting him as a man of action taking bold steps on presisng problems.

This is wrong and dumb.
At this point public pressure is the Democrats’ main tool for preserving the rule of law, and so of course, they’re applying none

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit.

By me at @wired.com:

Demand prison time for Musk, only Congress has the legal mandate to get rid or cut USAID. Cutting off the aid will cause thousands of deaths, especially among women and children around the world. That’s called mass murder.

We've had people say "we are too negative" or that "our feed scares them", we get it, this is what the real world looks like; if the corporate media covered information as it really is in a digestible and adult format, no street would be left unfilled.
